about Old Town Magick

Old Town Magick is an Edinburgh-based design studio creating atmospheric art, objects and interiors inspired by nature, folklore and old-world European living.

Founded in the historic heart of Edinburgh, the studio draws inspiration from Scotland’s gothic architecture, shifting landscapes and layered cultural history — exploring themes of seasonality, sacred beauty, craftsmanship and atmospheric living.

Our collections bring together art prints, antique and vintage objects, furniture, candles and decorative pieces designed to create homes with depth, warmth and quiet sense of wonder.

A seeker, a maker, a curator of the forgotten.

Some creations belong to the present.

Others feel as though they have always existed, waiting to be unearthed.

Old Town Magick is woven from that unseen thread—where time slows, where symbols are not merely symbols, but quiet invocations. A world of velvet shadow and candlelit devotion, where myth and memory entwine.

Gothic architecture, ancient rites, the secret language of tarot - these are not mere inspirations. They are imprints. Fragments of something eternal, something waiting to be translated, uncovered and brought back to life.

I am drawn to places where myth still breathes, where time is an offering, where beauty is a spell in itself.

A life of seeking, of creating, of uncovering the exquisite hidden within the ordinary.

For those who know that magick is not learned—it is remembered.

The Philosophy of Old Town Magick

Old Town Magick celebrates the beauty of atmospheric interiors and symbolic imagery. Our collections invite people to surround themselves with objects that evoke mystery, history and contemplation.Through artwork, antiques and decorative pieces, Old Town Magick encourages interiors that feel layered, dramatic and deeply personal.

We Value:

✦ Individuality

Old Town Magick exists for those who walk their own path. We celebrate singularity, inner power and the quiet boldness of choosing beauty, mystery and meaning over convention.

✦ Enigmatism

There is magic in what cannot be explained. We embrace the veiled, the arcane and the symbolic - creating pieces that whisper rather than shout, inviting you to look again and step deeper.

✦ Elegance

Every detail matters. Our work honours craftsmanship, composition and old-world refinement. Through moody palettes, sacred geometry and poetic design, we create objects of quiet luxury and lasting resonance.

    Art Prints

    Textured and symbolic, each print is designed in Marcus’ Edinburgh studio using techniques of collage, mixed media and digital alchemy to transforms the forgotten into something new.
    ‎

    We work with a family-run print studio, who carefully print, frame and hand-assemble our artwork using fade-resistant inks and time-honoured techniques.
    ‎

    Our collections shift with the seasons, fleeting and ephemeral - once a design vanishes, it may not return.

    A moment captured, a story preserved. A fragment of something lost, now found...

    Antiques & Furniture

    Time-worn wood, gilded frames, the quiet patina of history… each piece is a fragment of another time, carefully sourced from across the UK and beyond.

    ‎

    Restored and reimagined in Marcus’ Edinburgh studio, these objects are chosen not just for their beauty, but for the stories they carry. A cabinet that once stood in a grand estate. A mirror that has reflected centuries. A relic of another life, now waiting to be part of yours.
